 Stihl ms170 chainsaw will not start

I had my chainsaw out last week and it started and ran great. I got it out this week and it wouldn't start, not even fire. I pulled the spark plug and cleaned it, no help, tried using starting fluid to start it but still no fire. I bought a new spark plug but still nothing. I held the spark plug against the top of the cylinder and turned it over. There is a small blue spark at the spark plug. I have also taken the carb. apart but it looks clean. Any ideas what I have missed??

thanks in advance for the help.

Ok

this was the same tank of gas that I used last time. I tool the muffler off before and cleaned the spark arrestor screen.
I have just tried putting gas directly into the carb. about three or four times but it still will not fire at all and the front of the muffler is wet with gas.

any other ideas?

thanks
dayle

I have tried both choke and run but neither made a difference.

I have mixed new gas at the 50:1 ratio before trying any of the other stuff.
